Cheap and Easy Christmas Pillows

Christmas Gift Ideas

Now here's a great Christmas gift ideas that won’t break the bank. Did you ever wonder what to do with those old pillows that are going flat, don’t throw them away reuse them. As you already know I don’t like to throw things away because I like to find ways to reuse them at a later date. Today I would like to give you a few ideas on what to do with those old pillows going flat. 

1.       First take out the stuffing and save the cover. Wash the cover and stuffing and reuse it. Sometimes I take the stuffing from two pillows and put them into one cover to make a pillow.  Now you have a brand new pillow. If you don’t want to do this just save the covers and turn them into rags.

2.       The second thing I like to make is a little pillow to give as gifts. This is why I save the stuffing and covers from old pillows. Go to your local material store and pick out patterns or prints that would make a nice pillow. This will be the fronts of your pillows. The backs of your pillows you can reuse the covers cut down to size or old sheets or scrap material.

3.       Take some scrap material and make a patch work pillow. This pillow was made to look  like a Christmas pillow

4.       If you have a hunter or fisherman in your family, this pillow is a great Christmas gift.

5.       If you have kids these pillows area great for Christmas gifts to throw on their beds.

6.       For the adults add some lace to make it a little fancier and decorative.

7.       Take your stuffing from your old pillows and make new ones. Stuffing from Fabric Stores is very expensive. Reuse your old pillow stuffing for free. Plus for your backs if you do not want to use your covers from your old pillows or old sheets, look for little scraps from your local fabric store.    Buying little pieces of scrap material is a lot cheaper and more practical than buying yards of material.

Making pillows for the whole family is a  great gift and not too expensive to make when you reuse your old pillow covers and stuffing. Everybody love pillows to throw on their bed. Hope you like my cheap and easy way to make pillows for a Christmas gifts from Suzie Homemaker.
